Les femmes savantes

Armande and Henriette are diametrically opposed. While Henriette aspires to a simple life and marital happiness, her sister Armande claims to reject love, preferring to devote herself to intellectual pursuits and science. Yet, when Armande learns that Henriette is about to marry Clitandre, her former suitor, her jealousy flares up.

Aided by her mother and her aunt, she will do everything to stop this union with a single objective: marry Henriette to Trissotin, a deceitful scholar with big ambitions who leads our 3 learned women by the nose...

Using the education of women as a pretext, Molière delivers a ferocious satire of the period's pedantic men and women with pretentious intellectual airs. Manipulated by Trissotin through grammar and sonnets, Philaminte, Bélise, and Armande, Les femmes savantes, want to revolutionize everything.

Will Henriette, Chrysale, and Clitandre, armed with their common sense, manage to stop them?
